- README for Mini SQL Version 2.0.3
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Welcome to version 2.0.3 of the Mini SQL database system. Even though
- the 2.0 series software has proven to be stable enough for the development
- of large applications, the development process is continual. Features
- are added and bugs are fixed as they are identified so please check our
- web site regularly for upates at http://www.Hughes.com.au/
-
- This release includes the new mSQL documentation kit for 2.0. The
- documentation now includes a very comprehensive (i.e. 80+ pages) User
- Guide. The User Guide is included as a postscript file for printing on
- your laser printer. It is also included as an HTML document for those that
- do not have a postscript laser. Some of the formatting is lost during
- the conversion to HTML so the postscript version is certainly the best to
- use if you can. The User Guide is located in the doc directory of the
- distribution.
-
- As the software has now officially left the Beta test stage, it is being
- released as a commercial package. The software may be evaluated for 14
- days before a license fee is due. If you continue to use the software
- after 14 days you are required to pay a licnese fee. To license your
- copy of mSQL 2.0, simply print out the invoice form located in the doc/
- directory of this distribution and return it with payment to us either
- via postal mail or via fax. Our fax number and postal address has
- changed since the 1.x release so please check the details before sending
- your payment.
-
- Hughes Technologies continues to support the original ethos of the
- Internet by providing mSQL 2.0 (and all other Hughes Technologies
- products) free of charge to certain organisations. If your use of our
- software is in conjunction with your work or study at one of the
- organisational types listed below you may continue to use the software
- beyond the 14 day evaluation without licensing your copy.
-
- o Universities and schools
- o Non-commercial research organisations
- o Registered not-for-profit organisations
- o Registered charities
- o Churches
-
- Government agencies and commercial research organisations (such as
- research departments of corporations or government agencies) are not
- covered in this clause and as such must license the software if it is to
- be used.

- and product support is always available. Our web site contains a lot of
- on-line documentation that will help you work with mSQL. If you need
